Chasing the Unexpected

Chapter 821

Gabriel’s expressionless face softened into a smile as Jane held his hand and led him to the dining room.

After dinner, she eagerly asked him about the solution he had in mind. He gestured for her to follow him to the study.

Once inside, Jane was about to press Gabriel further when he pulled a document from the drawer and handed it to her.

“Take a look at this first,” he said.

Jane took the document with a confused expression, frowning as she read the title: Golden Waters Resort Project Proposal.

The Golden Waters Resort was Starlite Enterprise’s largest project of the year.

Starlite Enterprise, a subsidiary of Nyce Tech, had emerged in the Saintornia market about five years ago and quickly became one of Prospectus Technology’s main competitors in tech manufacturing and innovation.

Currently, the two companies were essentially equals.

Although Starlite Enterprise had been founded just last year, it had already launched several hotel chains in major cities, achieved profitability, and gained prominence in the domestic market.

For the Golden Waters Resort project, Starlite Enterprise had invested billions to purchase land near Saintornia’s suburbs to build a massive resort spanning thousands of square feet.

Many companies had attempted to secure a spot in the project, but Starlite Enterprise had shown no interest in collaborating.

Previously, the Wilkie Group had also sought to join the project. Jane had even approached Starlite Enterprise’s general manager multiple times, only to be fobbed off each time by the development manager.

Now, with the project set to break ground soon, everyone knew their chance to join had passed, and the project had largely been forgotten.

Jane looked at Gabriel, irritation flashing in her eyes. “Your so–called ‘solution‘ is to wave around this pointless document?”

Gabriel chuckled softly. “Jane, if the Wilkie Group joins this project, the profits will far exceed what we’d gain from bidding on the city development project with Prospectus Technology.”

Jane huffed. “I know that. But I can’t even get a meeting with Starlite Enterprise’s general

manager. They have no interest in bringing other companies in.”

“I’ve heard Starlite Enterprise’s cash flow is tight lately. Nyce Tech’s executives are reluctant to provide more funding, especially after the billions spent on land acquisition,” Gabriel explained. “If they keep funneling money into Starlite Enterprise, it could impact Nyce Tech’s operations.”

Jane raised an eyebrow. “Are you sure?”

There had to be a chance if Starlite Enterprise was lacking funds.

Gabriel nodded. “Absolutely. I have a friend who works at Starlite Enterprise. The information is solid, but if you want in on this project, the upfront investment will be considerable.”

Taking a deep breath, Jane said slowly, “I’ll try to meet with Starlite Enterprise’s general manager first. If it’s true, and he’s willing to budge, I’ll talk to Grandpa about funding.”

If the Wilkie Group could join the project, not only would Pedro overlook past issues, but he’d also fulfill his promise to give her shares in the company.

The thought filled her with determination.

“Every Saturday at 2:00 p.m., the general manager of Starlite Enterprise plays golf,” Gabriel said. “You could go early and wait for him.” Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

A flicker of surprise crossed Jane’s face. “How do you know his personal schedule so well?”

“I asked my friend to look into it, just for you. He went to a lot of trouble to get the information,” Gabriel replied.

Though the explanation helped, it didn’t entirely put Jane’s mind at ease. Instead, she frowned. “Why didn’t you ask him sooner?”
